“Taqueria Jalisco is a good location for lunch located in San Juan, TX. Their service is prompt, friendly, and courtesy. Wait time from when you order to when your food arrives is minimal. Food quality is good with your order being made to order so you get it nice and hot. There are a variety of typical taqueria options on the menu to choose from. I had a bistek torta combo that came with fries and a drink. The torta was the perfect size for the price and very filling. Overall, this place is solid.

Parking: The parking lot is large with many spots and is located in front of the business.“

We had a table for 19 people on Graduation day we waited long because we had no reservations but all waiters and cashier were very organized and quick to sit and make space for all parties coming in. I was given water and a chair for my comfort while I was waiting for our table to be ready. When we were at our table the waiter was quick to get our orders and other waiters passing by us were also checking everything was good at our table. I recommend this place 100%. Food was delicious and the beer at the bar was very cold and served with a smile.“
